Conjugate Gaze Palsy - Diagnosis

Diagnosis

A patient may be diagnosed with a conjugate gaze palsy by a physician performing a number of tests to examine the patent's eye movement abilities. In most cases, the gaze palsy can simply be seen by inability to move both eyes in one direction.

A nystagmus is a back and forth "jerk" of the eye when attempting to hold a gaze in one direction.
